TBF I haven't watched an England match for about 20 years, I was jumping on the bandwagon as seems to be the TEF way lately  We should have a Test Match in about a fortnight..... OK bcd, but I'm missing the summer game, starting to get excited about the first hearing of leather on willow. For many years, it was hearing the first cadences of Richie Benaud, which told me all was well with the world.... then my dear old thing Blowers. Now with Sir Geoffrey being put out to grass, there's not a lot of talent about.... Bumble perhaps, but he's better at one day stuff. Nasser Hussain shows potential..... |

I am more concerned about the impact on county cricket. The county championship could perhaps go ahead given that most crowds were socially distanced before COVID-19.

I like Nasser and Atherton. Absolutely can’t stand Gower. |

Lord Gower, hasn't had his contract renewed. Personally didn't mind him, without being a great fan. Athers has some strong points, but not in the top rank. Isa Guha is probably the way it's going. I like her work. |

I would've been at Lords today for the first day of the Windies Test and then at Cheltenham on Monday for the first of two or three days at the festival. Still hopeful of something later in the summer.

Isa is a superb pundit, not only that - she’s bloody lovely too look at. |

I could engage in a serious discussion about this, but given the tone of your posts, not really worth it. |

Not sure what you mean there. I have been a member of Somerset Cricket Club for many years and attend limited overs and county championship matches. I can say from experience that attendances at most county championship matches are such that social distancing can be accommodated. Of course, T20 and one day games are a different proposition. |

You do realise this includes you, and indeed all of us*, don't you? *(apart from possibly Mex, RedFrog and wheretherealredsare) |
